The 20-minute test window opens at 7:00 a.m. CT. \nResidents of Cameron County and those in the nearby area may hear a loud noise resulting from the rocket’s 33 Raptor engines firing upon ignition and as the vehicle launches toward space\, but what people experience will depend on weather and other conditions. \nSpaceX’s live webcast will go live approximately 35 minutes before liftoff at spacex.com/launches. Live updates will also be available on X @SpaceX. \n \nUpdate\, November 15:  SpaceX is targeting Nov 17 for the test flight.  A two-hour launch window opens at 7:00 am Central Time (local time at the launch site in Texas)\, which is 8:00 am EST.  SpaceX’s webcast will go live approximately 30 minutes before liftoff. \n\nTargeting Friday\, November 17 for Starship’s second flight test.
